The Supreme Court.

Judge Berry, of the supreme court, yes
terday sent in the following decision:
Frank j. Mackey and Harry 7. Legg, respon-
p dents, VS.. Freeman A. Fisher and E. F.
Dodson, appellants.
Defendants in writing contracted to erect a
building for plaintiff and to be responsible
for any loss or injury to person or property
occasioned by their neglect in and about the
erection and completion of the same, includ-
ing basement and areas. Through defendants
neglect in failing to guard an area belonging
to The building, one Moran fell into it and was
injured. He therefore brought suit against
plaintiffs and defendants together. Defend
ants interposed an answer, but plaintiff hay
ing failed to do so within the time allowed by
law applied for leave to answer after time,
but their answer was denied Thereupon
Mora a dismissed his action as respected de-
fendantS, and plaintiffs default having been
entered he, upon proper proof of his injuries
recovered judgment against him for So, 000
which sum with interest plaintiffs were COM
PEELED to pay. This action is brought to re-
cover the amount paid. There was evidence
in the case tending to show that after Moran S
action was brought, d. PENDANTS promised and
assumed to take care of it, and to put in an
answer fl all parties, and no evidence going
to show any obstacle to prevent them from so
doing Held, that upon the state by 4le facts
and evidence, the jury were at liberty to find
that the defendants were concluded of the
judgment in the Moran case. Counsel re-
plead only under protest. Order refusing
new trial, affirmed BERRY, j.

portunity to properly gauge the dramatic
merit Of the little woman who for twenty
years has held supremacy on the American
stage. To see Maggie Mitcheli's imperson-
alton of Moiee in Pearl of Savoy" dis
closes the secret of her professional success
Good acting is that which reaches the
senses and touches the feeling. To see an
audience such as was at the Grand last
night alternately swayed by humor and
pathos. one moment convulsed with laugh
ter and the next bathed in tears. is the best
evidence of dramatic power in the actor.
Although of the 1000 people who saw
Pearl ofSavoy'' last night there was per-
haps not dozen who had not seen it be-
fore, yet it WELT with all the force and
awakened all the enthusiasm that it would

ming.
The ten-round contest between George
Harris, the Black Pearl, and Dan Manning
at the Theatre ComiQue, Minneapolis, last
evening ended in draw. Manning is a
stocky middle-weight from the Pacific
coast, who possesses considerable science
and good staying qualities. He has par
ticipated in over thirty battles. and was
supposed would at least best the Pearl.
The colored pugilists hitting powers seems
to have improved. however and his superior
endurance nearly won the match for him.
Manning made the blacks neck his OBJ
jective point and reached it frequently,
but without apparent effect. The Pearl
followed his usual tactics and fairly pumped;
the wind out of his antagonist. There was
a good deal of short arm work and the
clinches were frequent. The tenth round
was a regular wrestling match. Manning,
who was very groggy, did considerable
huggIng to avoid punishment. Toward the
close he fell to the floor, and Dick Stewart,
the referee, lifted him to his feet. a queer
proceeding for referee. While the match
was evenly contested, the Pearl was GER
tainly in much the better condition. At
the close Manning looked as though he
could not stand another round. The de-
cision of draw was not altogether APP
proved by the crowd, many thinking the
Pearl should have been declared the win
ner.

The fact that New York city consume s
6,000,0 900 barrels of lager beer annually
which, being averaged. gives each man,
woman and child about five barrels-and,
considering the further fact that there is a
large proportion of non drinking persons,
especially children, suggests the idea that
there are people in that metropolis who get
more than their share of the amber leu
tonic beverage; and it also suggests story
about an old German brewer, who was
brought in as witness to testify as an ex-
pert whether or not beer is Intoxicating.
The lawyer for the defense asked.
''Do you drink much beer?'
''Vell, trink me glass aboud efery ten

Yes. Well do you find it intoxicating?"

sULLrvAN,s ARM RERRoKEN

1t was Badly Set in Minneapolis
and n New opera ton Was Rem
dered Necessary
NEW YORK, Jan. 2S.-John l.. Sullivan,
accompanied by his brother, Mike, arrived
here this afternoon to get the best surgical
opinion as to his broken arm. They went
to the office of Dr.. Sayre, who. after an ex-
animation of the injured member, said that
it had been set with the palm downward
instead of the reverse and while the fighter
conversed with his friends the doctor BY a
furtive glance observed Sullivan'S preoccll-
patton and placing his left hand on Sulli-
vans forearm, and the right upon the wrist,
he gave the arm a sudden wrench
which broke the bones asunder sec
ond time. Sullivan bounded from his
reclining position with sharp cry of pain
and sank back upon the cushions in dead
fainting spell. Salts and other vivifying
applications soon brought HIM back to con-
seriousness, and he found his left hand lying
palm upwards as DR.. Sayre says it should
do. But the fighter was knocked out, and
became further wearied by fruitless retch-
ings. He was Strengthened out after a
while, however, and his arm was bound in
felt wadding and finally set in plaster of
Paris. DR.. Sayre says it will be all right
four weeks hence and will be as strong as
ever. During his after-chat Sullivan stated
that the arm was broken by a left-hand
pper-cut, not by round-arm blow.

not to go South for series of games with

that the games lame and cripple so many of

saw the plight in which her father was

and died a few days later.
For years Mr.. Burkott mad been the fer

In one of these profane spells that he cursed
his Creator, and wound up with the express

The news soon spread through the coun-

victim. He was at first completely pros

take a few steps, when he would fall.
When spoken to he replies in an inarticu-

manner. The physicians can ascribe no
natural cause for his affection, but ADM t
that it is visitation of God. The preach
